Bromodomain testis-specific protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BRDT gene. BRDT is similar to the RING3 protein family. It possesses 2 bromodomain motifs and a PEST sequence (a cluster of proline, glutamic acid, serine, and threonine residues), characteristic of proteins that undergo rapid intracellular degradation. The bromodomain is found in proteins that regulate transcription. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq].
May play a role in the transcriptional regulation of spermatogenesis. Seems to have a structural ATP-independent role in the reorganization of acetylated chromatin.
